MIlano – Seconda Parte

Aaron and Louise set off back to the train station to continue their trip, and I set off to find my parents and the Leonardo Museum, or Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci as the locals would call it.

I got off the Milan Metro at what I thought was a relatively close station, and followed Google Maps on foot, playing spot the Twizy.

Twizy!

Leonardo Museum

The museum was amazing, really amazing. There was an incredible number of pieces, each with a detailed explanation of how the inventions worked.

After taking far too long reading the notes on every single display we stumbled across a display of computing histories, including a Babbage Difference Engine.

On the way out we left via a series of Transformers made out of cars, and a submarine and airplane, and a couple of watercraft of varying sizes and speeds.

Good boy, waiting at the supermarket.

Empty train station

In the evening we had pizza and gelato, it only seemed appropriate. I am still not used to people bringing their pets into every store and restaurant.
